Self-study course change competence – Develop the ability to cope with change

Employers increasingly demand the ability to deal competently with change, adapt goals and actions flexibly, act creatively, and let go of habits. This is now considered a fundamental “future skill” at the social, organizational, and personal levels.

Contents of the self-study course:

In this self-study course, you will explore the question of what is meant by change competence or change intelligence. You will begin by reflecting on what change can mean (in a professional context), what phases (and roles) it goes through, and how you personally feel about change and upheaval. At the same time, the course will give you a sense of what you already have to offer in terms of successfully dealing with change in your studies and career.

Optional in-depth reflection workshop:

In the reflection workshop, you will have the opportunity to exchange your questions, insights, and ideas with other participants and link them in depth to your career prospects.
